Cyber security expert works to provide security to the networks and servers in a company so that unethical hackers cannot enter the system and steal the sensitive information. Their skill-set is similar to those of hackers; however, they use their technical skills to protect their employers. They also use different software and tools to hack the company’s systems and thus find out the loopholes in the security. Once a gap is found, they either patch it up themselves or delegate the task to the IT team
The task of a cyber security expert does not end here, they need to understand all the operations within a company so that they can work towards improving network and computer security. They have to regularly perform risk assessment tests to work on the weakly secured areas. They have a strong responsibility since they have access to the whole data of the company. They cannot share the information with anybody and secondly, they have to protect it at any cost considering the importance of data for any company.
